Roaches

ryuman1 Apr 09, 2008 08:40 PM

Ive heard alot about the roaches as feeders. I think I'd like them alot. But Ive noticed the Dubia roaches are more popular but the Lobster roaches are cheaper. And I believe the Lobsters breed better. Anyone use roaches? Any comment is appreciated.

I breed roaches as feeders for my dragons, and they are a superb choice as a feeder. They are a better diet than crickets overall.

I use Dubia and Discoid roaches because they do not climb. The lobsters are good, but can easily escape.
I have 15 dragons and the two colonies of discoid and dubia feed them just right.
